For private vars needed for testing, I made them private and added ac…

…cessors. Java doesn’t understand package-private tags, so this minimizes the issues Java users might encounter.

Change miniBatchFraction default to 0.05 to match maxIterations.

Added a little doc.

Changed end of main online LDA update code to avoid the kron() call.  Please confirm if you agree that should be more efficient (not explicitly instantiating a big matrix).

Changed Gamma() to use random seed.
